The pain, I can't take it.
My bones feel like they're shattering, my blood feels like acid in my veins. I tried to run from them but they were too fast. I needed to run, I was trying to get up. But I was knocked down.
"Don't move," I looked up to see a tall man, with long straight, black hair and red eyes.
"Who?" I choked out some blood, what was happening to me?
"Aro," I saw a blonde man standing next to him, "Are you sure this will work?"
"We came close last time," the man smiles, sending shivers down my spine followed by a strong burning feeling starting at my neck, "She is stronger, she will make it."
I blacked out.
I woke up in cell, looking around and taking in my environment. The walls looked like stone blocks, like a castle, the smell of mold and water surrounded my senses. The bars were rusted over, I was laying on some hay. I don't remember much, I tried to think. But, my head felt like it was being stabbed. I sat up against the will of my rejecting body.
"Hey," I looked to my side seeing a girl with blonde hair and red eyes, but her smell: a vampire!
"Leech," I got up remembering what I was, I'm a shifter. I hunt vampires. She smiled at me, and I felt excruciating pain, bringing me to my knees.
"Jane," she frowned and the pain stopped, I looked up seeing the same man who caught me, "You survived." He opened the cell door and walked in.
"Who are you?" I looked at him.
"My name is Aro," he grazed my cheek with his hand, "I own you."
"Who am I?" I looked at him.
"Your name is Celeste," He smiles, "You are the most powerful creation in the world."
Celeste's Point of View
Early winter: 2068
"Master, I want to go outside," I look to my master, Aro.
"That is not possible my pet," he doesn't look up from his book.
"Why not! Jane and Alec get to go outside," I gesture to my cousins, as Aro has told me they are, "They even got to go with you to fight the Cullen's and you said you need my power, why don't you use me?!"
"You're different from us, we can easily blend in with the others," He puts his book down and walks over to me, "If you were discovered, you could end us. And if we would have used you, they could have found out and tried to make more hybrids."
"You said I was a vampire like you," I looked to the side.
"And a shifter, and even so, if you tried to blend with other shifters, it wouldn't work." I frowned remembering my panther like form.
"I've been in here over two hundred years," I turned to leave, "I'm just restless master, I'm sorry."
I walk through the maze like halls to my room. I can't take it here, the pain from being tortured, the teasing from Jane and Alec. I'm different, I'm both a vampire and shifter, not at that I am a female with male parts. I'm an abomination, I should be killed.
"Celeste," I turned breaking from my trance to see Caius, my other master.
"Yes master Caius?" He walks over.
"My brother, Aro, said you may go outside," I couldn't help but smile, "With the escort of Jane and Alec." My smile quickly went away.
"I understand," I bowed, "Please thank master Aro for me, and thank you master Caius."
I waited by the gates, smiling from excitement from being so close to the outside. Not excited from going with Jane and Alec, but still excited. I was going to be free, this was my night. I was wearing my brown trench coat, a white dress shirt, thigh high black boots, black jeans, and my black half-face cat mask.
"Ready freak?" I looked to Jane.
"Nothing you can say will kill my night Jane," I got ready as they opened the gates.
"Maybe I will kill you," I smiled and looked at her.
"I don't think master Aro will appreciate that," I took off quicker than any other vampire around.
I haven't been outside in so long, so much has changed. The lights, the sounds. So much different from the last time I was outside. But, I had not time to waste, this was my night to escape. I ran towards the edge of Italy, Jane and Alec far behind me but still following me. I am so getting the fuck away from here.
"Celeste!" I heard Alec call, no way am I going back.
"Come back here freak!" Jane is way pissed, I'm lucky Jane and Alec can't leave Italy without permission.
"No!" That was the last thing I heard before I swam all the way across the ocean.
It was maybe a day before I found land. It was night time, I got out shaking the water from my black hair. The left side was shaved, so I didn't have to worry about water much, but my clothes are now soaked. I only had my clothes, my mask, and my cards, maybe if I run they'll get dry faster. I begin running, there's a lot of trees here. The scents of wet ferns, bushes, various animals, dog….. Wait, dog?
"Hey!" I turn around seeing a vampire with red hair, "Hey, who are you?" I don't dare speak, so I run off.
"Jake!" I hearing howling and I sprint even faster, I can hear the red head running after me. I couldn't be caught, what if they were friends with the Volturi….. I shouldn't have been thinking, because a wolf had pushed me to the side causing me to knock down a tree almost hitting a big house. I jumped on to the tree quickly, I still had my mask on. That could have been a reason to stop me..… I ran towards the house, seeing other vampires inside, I jumped over it not seeing the red headed vampire. She knocked me down to the yard behind the house. We clawed at each other, she ended up scratching my face. I tried getting her off me.
"Renesmee!" I saw a brunette yell, she ran out with all the other vampires.
"Get off me!" I pushed her off she ended up grabbing and ripping my shirt, showing off my Volturi mark.
"Mom, she's Volturi," They all got scared and looked like they were going to kill me.
"Not anymore," I held up my hands, seeing the wolf shift back and restrain my hands.
"Alice can you see anything?" A man with blonde, wavy hair asked a girl with short dark brown hair, oh my god…..
"No…... I can't," She sounds like an angel.
I Think I've imprinted.
"I think we should keep her here," A tall man with short brown hair speaks, "Just in case."
"Edward, are you sure that's okay?"
Edward?
"Wait, are you the Cullen's?" I looked at them.
"Yes, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper," A really tall guy grabbed me and lifted me, "Put her in the basement."
"Hey, fucker I can walk!" I tried struggling but the guy I guessed as Emmett squeezed harder.
"Don't struggle or he'll only squeeze more," I looked at a girl with long blonde hair, who I guessed as Rosalie, "My giant teddy bear."
"More like grizzly bear," I squeezed, "Goddammit! Ow!"
"Don't tease him," The blonde guy looked at me who I guessed was Jasper, he glared at me.
They took me to the basement, and waited there for Edward and I guess his mate. I just sat down on a box and I waited in silence. One day, and I'm back in a cage. On the plus I think I found my imprint..… Jasper looks at me, glaring. I wanted so badly to rip that look off his stupid face!
"Has she said anything?" the brunette girl had walked in and asked Rosalie.
"Nothing yet Bella," so her name is Bella, "She won't take off the mask, and Jasper and the girl keep mad-dogging each other though."
"Hey!" Bella walked over and snapped in front of my face and I looked at her glaring.
"What?" I snapped and she glared.
"Quit glaring at my brother-in-law!"
"Bella, relax," Edward walks over to her and puts his arm around her, "Guys leave us to talk with her."
Just like that Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie left, leaving me with Edward and Bella. I stayed seated not talking, they just stared at me. I just looked at my torn jacket and shirt. The silence is killing me, I decide to speak.
"Any of you got a needle and thread, and know how to sew?" I look at them.
"Alice can sew," Bella went up to get Alice.
"Good thing Bella left," I looked at him.
"Why?"
"I know you imprinted on Alice," I looked away, fuck, "Alice has Jasper, and Jacob imprinted on my daughter the one who tore your shirt and coat. So, even if you can't be with her—"
"I will stay and be anything she wants me to be," I groan, "I just don't like the idea of taking orders from another person...…"
"Alice isn't like that," Edward walks over and puts his hand on my shoulder, "Just relax okay."
"I'm not gonna tell her," He nods, taking a step back and as he does, Bella comes down with the little brown-haired angel. She sits down next to me.
"Take off your coat," I nod and I do as she say handing her my coat, she began sewing.
"Why do you wear the mask?" I don't look at Bella.
"I was told to wear it whenever I'm outside or when the masters have guests." She nod's and looks at Edward.
"Would you be willing to take it off?" I look at Alice, I could see her golden eyes sparkling making my heart melt.
Alice's Point of View
"Yeah," I could see how hesitate she was, maybe if I could see her face I could be able to see her future.
She took off her mask slowly, she was very pretty. Wait, I shouldn't have thought like that. She has slightly short hair about an inch shorter than shoulder length, the left side was partially shaved. Her skin was pale, and her eyes are red and blue like paint mix, but her pupils were slits. She looked at me, and I felt the strange urge to hold her, but I can't think like that. I have Jasper.
"Can I have your shirt now?" she looked at me and then at the other two.
"Turn around," Edward and Bella rolled their eyes, god they're such a couple, they turned around and I looked back at the girl.
"Here," She removed her shirt handing it to me, I noticed her mark on her chest.
It's a Volturi symbol and a cats-eye. I actually had to pry my eyes away from her, she has broad shoulders, her arms so muscular, but not too much. Her stomach was flat and curved where her abs are. Her breasts…, Oh God, Alice stop! Edward chuckled and I threw the scissors at him. I sewed the giant tear in her shirt. I smiled and handed it to her.
"There you go," She smiled and put the shirt on.
"Merci, Alice." So she's French.
"You're welcome, um," I stopped, not knowing her name.
"Celeste," She smiles, flashing me her fangs.
"It's nice to meet you," I smile, god she has a beautiful smile.
"Are you two done yet?" Bella asked, "You have a lot of questions to answer."
"Yes, we're done," I groaned, standing up.
"Okay," Bella turns around with Edward.
"So we've gathered your name and you're Volturi," Celeste cut him off.
"I was Volturi," I stood there, watching her as she sat Indian-style, "And even then, I was more of a pet."
Edward, but mainly Bella, bombarded her with question after question. She answered with one syllables. Three hours later, we only knew her name, she's French, she was made over two-hundred years ago, changed when she was nineteen, and that she only drank human blood; which is a problem for us. She agreed to try animal blood, just so she didn't have to go back to the, quote-unquote, Volturi bastards. I went upstairs, to talk to the rest of the family and tell them what we know.
"Alice," I looked up to see Carlisle, "Did you find anything out?"
"I can't see anything," I groaned, "She's just another vampire, why can't I see her future?"
"She's a freak, that's why," Jasper put his arm around me, this is a side of him I've never seen.
"It still doesn't seem right," I kept thinking, there was something about her.
"Were not going to get anything out of her today," I looked at Esme, "We'll try more tomorrow, everyone just relax for the rest of tonight."
"Should we let her hunt?" I asked.
"No let her starve until she talks," Jasper is really harsh today.
"Were not like that though," I look to Carlisle," She should be able to eat, right?"
"Yes I agree," He seems to think about something, "Though we'll wait until she asks and then we'll assign a few of you to watch her as she hunts."
Jasper glares, not happy with this. I don't what his problem is, he looks at Edward obviously yelling in his head. They know something I don't….
